So is intellect
and wisdom.
Gluttony is a sin
only when you eat more
when you do not have to.
It used to be a rich man’s sin
because he was the only one who could afford
more food than he needed.
Now we understand the psychology behind it
and so patience is still a virtue
but what about the others?
Is envy still a sin?
‘Can you name them all?
All that can truly be said
is that it is only a virtue
at the right time and the right place
like waiting in a line.
When a bill is late
it is called procrastination
and so therein lies the truth.
It is our actions that are virtuous
or sinful
and only we will know the truth
of why we do them.
